Magnolia FCU Awards $2,000 Scholarship to Air Force Veteran
July 12, 2018
In a ceremony on July 12th, Magnolia Federal Credit Union (MFCU) was pleased to recognize Jason Tolliver, as this year’s recipient of the annual Oliver N. King Scholarship. Board Chairman, Mary E. Barrett, who served on the Board of Directors with Mr. King for 27 years, presented Tolliver with his $2,000 scholarship.
The scholarship provides financial assistance to a veteran who is a MFCU member in good standing, who has exhausted government aid, or who might not otherwise have the financial means to further his/her undergraduate or graduate courses toward an accredited degree or certificate program. Oliver King firmly believed that “when I help someone up the hill of life, I too, am closer to the top.”
Tolliver is an Air Force veteran who specialized in IT and is currently finishing up his degree in Computer Engineering at Jackson State University. Magnolia FCU is proud to award Tolliver for his hard work and dedication. “I’ve never won anything in my life! I am so thankful for this scholarship. I will come back once I graduate and let you all know, I made it!”
We would like to thank all our 2018 Oliver N. King Scholarship applicants for applying and wish each of them the best of luck as they continue to pursue higher education.
